@DonnaMDavid @EditorJangles @EllieBrough @mpowelltuck @FizOsborne @Lammstew @emmalayfield2 @Peter_Marley_ I think within a week, but that's NOT the norm! There's usually a lot of input to gather and discussions to be had, so maybe a month on average, often longer. Nobody likes to keep people waiting but sometimes it's unavoidable! Definitely agree competition speeds things up a lot x

@EditorJangles @EllieBrough @chloeruth @mpowelltuck @FizOsborne @Lammstew @emmalayfield2 @Peter_Marley_ I imagine that the bigger the publisher, the more people have to agree. Thanks for replying Laura. I’ve had so many DMs from authors saying they’re loving all the insight!

Picture book editors, I'm intrigued...what's the quickest you've ever made an offer on a text? I know these things take (a lot) of time but please tell me about your exceptions to the rules. Or PB authors/illustrators, what's the quickest offer you've ever received?

I am: “Haven’t seen the ocean in a long time”

Editor job at Macmillan Children's Books! Part of my team! We are all very nice, I promise! 📚💚

@janepursey @womensmarchlon It's fine, nice sunny breezy day!xx

@chloeruth @womensmarchlon I hope it isn’t as hot in central London as it is here for you Chloë 😊

@DrIanFriel @LKPChildrens @helenfriel @cloeruth @hoakesisland And an absolutely wonderful book! So pleased it's finally out in the real world!

New blog post: We’re launching our own investigation into one of our most puzzling books… have you discovered #HoakesIsland yet? Our editor @chloeruth introduces us to a very unusual mystery & the father-daughter team behind it. @DrIanFriel @helenfriel bit.ly/hoakesblog

Still smiling from the best day celebrating #LittleGuidesToGreatLives with @mariannamadriz and 180 awesome children at @DulwichGallery superbly organized by @talesonmoonlane 💗 @LKPChildrens this fab photo was taken by @KenderSchool

Congratulations to all the children's book winners and shortlisted entries at @theaoi Awards - it was super tough to judge such an amazing collection of entries 👏🏻 twitter.com/theaoi/status/…

I was a judge in @theaoi World Illustration Awards so - we went out! In the evening! On the tube! At rush hour! It was terrifying! (Not pictured: my three-week-old baby casting a critical eye over my choices.)

The fab @womensmarchlon asked me to write a thing and I wrote a thing! #stillmarching #100years #vote100 twitter.com/womensmarchlon…

@DMTWestEnd thanks!

I am totally and completely honoured to be a judge in the children's books category of this year's @theaoi awards! (Even if it means seeing this big picture of my face a lot.) Get your entries in, I wanna see 'em all 📚👀🌟 #WIA2018 twitter.com/theaoi/status/…
